Having traded in the crypto space for six years, I’ve experienced margin calls, been cut for liquidity, and stepped into countless pitfalls. But now, I can support my family solely through trading. The key isn’t luck or going all-in, but whether you’ve truly established a trading discipline.

In 2024, my account directly multiplied 68 times. During that period, I withdrew large sums twice to buy a house outright. If I had planned the withdrawals in advance, the account could have grown to 102 times. But this isn’t some get-rich-quick myth; it’s a replicable small-cap turnaround methodology.

The core logic is actually very simple: small capital must survive first; only after surviving does it qualify for accelerated growth.

**How to properly open positions**

I start with $1,200. I always use only one-third of the principal to open the first trade, with the remaining two-thirds as a safety net. Without clear trading signals, I never add to a position. During a downtrend, I never try to bottom fish. Once a trade starts losing money, I cut losses immediately—no stubborn holding waiting for a rebound. The less capital you have, the more you must prioritize “preserving your life.”

**Trade entry points must be precise**

Finding trading opportunities is like shooting at a target; don’t fire randomly if you’re not aiming at the bullseye. I divide a complete market cycle into three parts: first, establish an initial position at the start; second, add gradually during pullbacks with rhythm; third, take profits step by step as the trend continues. If the market enters consolidation, my approach is straightforward—turn off the software, step away from the screen, and don’t waste energy watching chaotic fluctuations.

**The only place for profits**

If the first trade earns $200, I immediately set aside that money as the principal for the next round. My position sizing has a strict rule: never exceed 25% of total funds. Stop-loss points are predetermined; once hit, I exit decisively—no hesitation allowed. This rolling position method relies on execution and discipline, not courage.

**Don’t stay in the market at the peak**

I never take all the profits from a rally, but I ensure I bite at the right moments. Account compounding isn’t achieved through one or two gambling trades; it’s built gradually through compound interest, year after year.

This strategy is specifically designed for small capital. The less your principal, the more you must respect the market rhythm and position management. I’ve seen too many people with just a few thousand dollars go all-in recklessly— the more urgent they are, the more they lose. In the end, it’s not just the account that collapses, but their mental defense line. From a real trading perspective, as long as you can stick to this discipline, small capital turnaround is not a dream.
